Yutoriro Hotels in Hakone

The only downside for this beautiful resort is that the rooms are a bit worn. Except for this, it is just amazing. Breakfast and dinner are the pieces of art. Lush green surroundings. They have private onsens, which could be very convenient if its your first time. And the location is just fine, you can drop your luggage and continue to Hakone’s circle route.

I really liked the Japanese-style room! The balcony offers a wonderful view! The room for 4 has a kitchen. Its own bathroom. On the first floor there is a wonderful onsen with a view of the trees, birds singing outside the window. There was no one in the women's room either in the evening or in the morning - it was beautiful! The ryokan is located right next to the funicular station - convenient. In the morning you can order a free transfer to the train station. Unfortunately, there were some downsides. We knew about some of them in advance, but those who are going to book should keep them in mind. During the day, at the most convenient time for arrival from Tokyo, the reception is on break, so guests find themselves in front of closed hotel doors. We were lucky: someone was leaving the hotel, and we went in and left our things in the lobby on the first floor, and did not drag them up the hill to leave them somewhere else. There are no shops or restaurants near the ryokan, which means you either have to take the funicular and hurry back (it stops running very early), or walk up the steep slope. You can't leave the ryokan in yukatas, there is no tea or plates in the kitchen in the room, but they are given to you at the reception upon request. You have to lay out your own futons. But the most unpleasant thing is that there was a dead cockroach on the stairs between the floors. Overall, it's a chance to experience something very Japanese, but you won't be surrounded by the same care as in many other ryokans.
